Happy Father's Day

Detective Story is my favorite movie , I think because Kirk reminds me so much of my Dad. Full of morals, worry, stress and manliness all in the hard act of trying to do the right thing against the evil forces of weakness all around him.

Fanny and Alexander does a good job of showing loving parents. The second half is also good, showing the "evil Preacher" character. Similar to Night of the Hunter, but without the uniquely American elements. Have you seen either film, Mr. K?

Thank you

Also, are there any animated works this last decade you believe succeeded mainly because of story, despite your correct hypothesis good animation is critical.

WOW, that was so good I watched the rest of the movie. Thanks John for turning me on to Kirk's work. He showed so much range in that movie. Even cried a bit. Went from rage to tears to rage again in just a couple minutes, amazing.
